It’s one year and one day since I started lifting.
Weight: 88,5 kg. That’s 26 kg more than a year ago - so a gain of a half kilo a week. The graph is my weight throughout the past year… I’m surprised how linear the growth has been (except when I got sick, and then afterwards decided to slow down a little) considering that I haven’t been counting calories or macronutrients or anything and have just been making instinctive diet adjustments as I went along.
Today’s training - 25 reps of: fingertip pullup 6 kg, press 55 kg, pistol.
25 reps: hack squat 149 kg, db press 26 kg, bentover row 79 kg (less weight, much better form than last week)
25 reps: deadlift 151 kg, db floor press 34 kg, overhead squat 29 kg.
25 reps: fingertip pullup 6 kg, press 49 kg (going down to clavicles instead of only down to ear level as before; we’ll see how my left shoulder feels tomorrow), pistol, curl 31 kg.
Back to MRT.
15 reps: hack squat 149 kg, overhead squat 33 kg, db floor press 34 kg. Then chop some wood.
30 reps: deadlift 129 kg, fingertip pullup, pistol. Was gonna also do some presses but my left shoulder isn’t quite feeling right.
Decided to switch to EDT.
15 minutes: hack squat, 129 kg - 52 reps (got 29 last time I did this… that’s big progress!)
15 minutes: press 45 kg, fingertip pullup - 40 reps
15 minutes: row 69 kg, db press 20 kg - 50 reps
15 minutes: single-leg good morning 19 kg, pistol - 40 reps
15 minutes: deadlift 149 kg - 29 reps
10 minutes: overhead squat 29 kg, curl 29 kg - 31 reps (this was gonna be 15 minutes but I quit early with the excuse that my left shoulder is acting up and doesn’t seem to like holding weights overhead)
To give my left shoulder a break I skipped the presses and pullups today. That let me put all my energy into squatting.
15 minutes: hack squat 129 kg - 64 reps.
15 minutes: row 69 kg, db press 20 kg - 51 reps
15 minutes: single-leg good morning 19 kg, pistol - 46 reps
15 minutes: deadlift 149 kg - 18 singles
15 minutes: overhead squat 29 kg, curl 29 kg - 49 reps
Still recovering from a nasty cold. 15 minutes: hack squat 135 kg, 46 reps.
Almost over that cold now but still coughing. Weight: 87 kilos.
15 minutes: clean-grip snatch 45 kg, 41 reps.
